After a long drive, I got up and out of the car and heard a creak/clang type of noise from the rear suspension. Sat back down in the front and rear seat and it makes the noise. Pushed on the rear of the car and the noise is not there. What gives. Yes I seem to discover a lot about my car in the last 5 months of leasership.

I haven't had any suspension noises in my GS, but I only have something like 2700 miles on it.

Try turning it off and then get out to see if it makes noise.

I have not. Not too concerned about it.

I'm thinking it's the parking brake. I get the same creak after I back into my garage. There's a slight downhill angle and when I get out, the car rolls forward a fraction of an inch and the brake creaks. When it's off, no noise.

Yes, my rear passenger side "thuds" when getting into/out of a parking lot.

...dealer claims no issue w/ my struts... :/

Its the parking brake that makes that noise have the dealer calibrate it for you. I had mine calibrated and it fixed the sound.
